Roadside Religion

Sometimes the same old beachfront resorts, ski lodges, and amusement parks just won't cut it. This year Case Western Reserve University Professor of Religion Tim Beal decided to do something different for vacation. He piled the wife and kids in a rickety old RV, and hit the road on a multi-state search for religious spectacles: from Holy Land U.S.A. Nature Sanctuary to the Golgotha Fun Park. The oral histories and photos that the family collected are being prepared for publication. Professor Beal told ideastream's April Baer the concept of the trip was something he'd been considering for a long time.
